Today is Tuesday, November 4, 2025, Election Day 2025. I’ve just got home from my stimulating book club meeting in which we discussed for 90 minutes the pros and cons of The Power of the Dog, where about 60 literate and articulate gay men attended this meeting.

I’m not really writing about this meeting, no, my intention is to blast out the incredible results of today’s political races in which all Democrats swept into office as a major fuck-you to Donald Trumpf and his existing fascist party.

In New York, Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is now delivering his acceptance speech to a filled auditorium in Brooklyn. The most important election was in California, I believe, in which California voters voted “yes” to Proposition 50 to fight repugnican redistricting in Texas and other repugnican strongholds.

Democrats won in New Jersey and in Virginia.

It’s a great night to celebrate these victories, and I hope this is a significant omen for better things to come, most especially the 2026 midterms.

And so it went!
